Adagio in Sarajevo
Once considered a model of religious and ethnic harmony, in 1992 Sarajevo was in a siege that was slowly destroying the city. The world was shocked when a shell planted in the middle of a bread line exploded, killing 22 people and wounding more than 100. This is the story of how one musician’s response to “the bread line massacre” helped the people of Sarajevo to find the courage to go on with their lives — and how his message spread around the world, inspiring other artists and thousands of people to resist despair by celebrating love, life, and that spark of human spirit that can never be destroyed.
